World Day for the End of Fishing Demonstration

March 24, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

March 24th is the World Day for the End of Fishing. We’ll be joining Australia, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, USA, Japan, Brazil, Denmark, Peru, Mexico, France, and the UK in holding a demonstration. Our demonstration will be held outside of Ripley’s Aquarium from 11am – 1pm.

This event is in collaboration with Anonymous for the Voiceless Toronto, so we will have our signs with the addition of TV screens showing footage of fish farming throughout Canada.

WoDEF – The World Day for the end of Fishing calls for the abolition of fishing and fish farming.

Fishes, crustaceans and cephalopods are at the heart of the WoDEF’s concerns, since they constitute the biggest proportion of animals killed by humans, amounting to thousands of billions of victims each year. Launched in 2017 in Switzerland by the association PEA – Pour l’Égalité Animale, the WoDEF is now used by associations all around the world to raise awareness about aquatic life, among the public as well as within other animal-rights associations.

This is a love-based event. Signs and materials will be provided.
